Thanks Grumpy and might I say from knowing very little about how this mower functions, since being on this forum and the help I have had I now have so much better understanding so thanks to you and all for giving me your time and patience on here.
Now the mower. I tried to tighten the nut you are talking about but it seems to not want to go. Looking at the whole assembly to enable it to adjust further something would have to make room on the other side ie the same nut on the other end for the reverse. For that cluth plate to be secure something must be also keeping it secure on the other side somewhere to keep it fixed not allowing me to tight and move the plate in if you know what I mean.
Could It be that you cannot adjust anything, the linkages, cluth or any of it? Is it just all fixed so that when the cork wears so far down that's it and you have to put new cork on so it cannot be adjusted to allow wear right down to metal and cause damage maybe?
